King Island Distillery

In 2014, fueled by a fierce passion, Happy Heidi dared to pioneer a new kind of spirit; one that echoes the winds of the roaring forties and the unbridled wild essences of our island home, King Island.

A Rebel in Craftsmanship - Bound by a deep, lifelong love of King Island's untamed beauty and salt-kissed native bounty, Happy Heidi embarked on a rebellious quest to craft a Native gin unlike any other. Distilled in small 30-bottle batches by stills custom made in Hobart the Copper Angels, this isn't just gin; each drop embodies the rugged landscapes and raw native beach botanicals she hand forages of King Island.

An Authentic Movement - At King Island Distillery, we handcraft unfiltered moments of connection through our artisan creations made of King Island. Every bottle, painstakingly hand-created within the rustic walls of the honey farm shed, carries a piece of us - a craft of authenticity and a 'Happy Heidi attitude distilling the dream at 40 Degrees South Latitude’. Join the Spirited Rebellion - Step into our world - where tradition is re-GINvented and innovation collides with authenticity and sustainability by the King Island Queen of repurposing.

From our Distillery Door, we deliver directly to your door to immerse yourself in the unfiltered passion and boundless love poured into each sip, crafted purely to make you smile. Here's to raising a glass or four to more GINventures and to the raw, wild heart of the pure spirit of King Island.
